How many NICs are on this unit? The ix2 only has 1 NIC but I'm looking for a NAS that has 2 NICs so that I can have a dedicated iSCSI LAN.

I have three 1TB drives in the thing and the case does not seem much above room temperature in a big closet area. It has a temperature sensor and most of the times it says the drives are at 77F. There is a fan which seems to run at a reported 1550 rpm all the time. Not noisy.

The data sheet says two GB network interfaces. It also supports iSCis but I have not tried that function. Data sheet implies separate iSCSI and file access. The unit is easy to setup and has worked flawlessly for more than a year now. I also have iX2 that is running into year six with no problems. iX4 Data sheet is at this link: http://www.lenovo.com/images/products/server/pdfs/datasheets. /lenovoiomega_ix4_data_sheet_q12013.pdf Good luck!

I can confirm that this model has 2 NICs. I have bonded them to the same IP, but they can have separate addresses.

The older Thecus N5200 series is limited to 2TB drives, but I am aware of no such limitation for the N5550 NAS. Load it up!

I don't think it's dual POE. It has two ports but I think only one of them takes POE. I don't know the power but I know there is one that's high speed and one that's high power. The HS in the model number indicates high speed. How many are you thinking of buying ?

It is network attached as in NAS (Network Attached Storage). However, I highly discourage buying this brand. It is riddled with problems and lacks the features of a quality NAS. Get a Synology. They are great. And they have a 2-bay model that sells for about the same price as this model but much, much better features and reliability.Look at Synology models DS214se or DS213j.

I have 2 units In 2 locations. One is used with a WD Mycloud 6tb drive. The other with a 4tb Seagate cloud drive. I copy to them and back them up us a NAS. I stream from them using the built in DLNA server. They work great for me.

I know nothing about the 2TB one. I bought the 3TB and that has been the first one I purchased from Micronet. So far, it works fine.

To answer directly ... No, you will need different software to do that. The Lenovo IX2 comes with some software to manage the device as a single entity and you can have one drive mirror the other drive on that one device OR you can have both drives as one big drive. Put your NAS on the net (quite easy and comes with instructions) and you can access that anywhere there is internet, which is what I would think you want to do as against having two devices mirrored over the internet. Hope this helps!

I do exactly this with a Synology NAS. There are a few caveats with the library but I can watch or listen to my library on 2 Apple TVs and audio with some Airport Expresses. Should work the same with this.

Yes you can assign a different IP address to each nic. But if it's a windows machine I would only assign a gateway to the one with Internet access unless you know how to edit the windows routing table. Dual gateways never goes well in windows

I get better than that with my 212j. This has a slightly faster processor but still not a dual-core. There's a list of processors here: http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/What_kind_of_CPU_does_my_NAS_have

It does have 2 Ethernet ports and both should be functional. Yours could have a faulty port. Have you tried connecting to your network with each port individually to confirm both ports are working? You may have a problem if you are trying to put different subnet masks in the two adapters. To do this in a computer you need to create trace routs for the adapters, and I don't think this NAS has that ability.

The CPU is not powerful enough. You might be able to do one SD stream. I use a NUC as my Plex server and the Synology as my file server.

No this is not a NAS. This is simply a USB NIC which requires a PC to operate.

Yes it should. We are running a 2012 R2 environment with 2 hyper-v 2012 servers for testing.No through put problems. However make sure your switch is configuration supports NIC aggregation if its a smart switch. This setting can be ran and managed right from the 2012 R2 & 2012 server management console.Not sure if HP has a application for NIC aggregate like broadcom and Intel does. But the 2012 windows server series seems to handle and manage it just fine. We are also running the NICs and a single point of aggregation that gives us 4Gbps uplink to the network. It's fast!

We are running windows 2012 R2 hypervisor with several virtual machines. This nic card works with no issue for me. We do not use core but I can not see any reason why it wouldn't work.

It isn't a NAS box; no Ethernet, no file services that I am aware of. It's as esata or USB housing for four drives. Mine is USB connected to a synology NAS box and exposes each of the four drives inside as a separate device to the synology nas head which then makes those available on the network via smb, nfs, etc. am pretty sure this box will work when USB connected to OS X. I have used other devices with the same innards as this one with OS X successfully. This box may also concatenate drives (make four 2 tb drives look like 1 8 tab drive) but I wouldn't recommend using that feature; lose one of the four drives and all your data is lost.

The red ones are the cheap ones right? Because the cheaper versions are definitely the ones I got. I thought about getting the base model (without the hard drives), but just figured I could upgrade later, as they begin to fail. One at a time hopefully. I love my Synology Disk Station!
